Event Generators - New Developments
arXiv:hep-ph/0210294
Abstract
After an introduction to event generators we give an overview of developments in the field of joining matrix elements with parton showers. Starting with matrix element corrections, we also discuss implementations that match LO and NLO matrix elements with parton shower results correctly. Finally, the new Monte Carlo program Herwig++ is described. We report on its status of development and some major physics improvements.
